Software drops
Languages, utilities, test harnesses, and disk tools compiled straight to 6502.
What’s cooking
Hardware builds
Cartridges, interface boards, and diagnostics rigs—documented with BOMs and solder notes.
Weird peripherals
Faceplates, badge kits, stickers, and other lab souvenirs for your Atari bench.
Media-ready releases
ATRs, cassette masters, and ROM images that ship with checksums and duplication guidance.
Docs & lore
Markdown manuals, schematics, and notebooks so you can see how the experiments came together.
Lab rules
Real hardware only
Everything gets burned onto actual cartridges, disks, or tapes before it leaves the bench.
Share the schematics
Build logs, wiring diagrams, and BOMs go public so you can recreate (or improve) the work.
No committees
If it sounds fun, we build it. If it’s useful, it ends up in the vault. Simple as that.
Goods for sale
Finished boards, merch, or media runs show up in small batches. Miss it? Wait for the next experiment.
Atari obsessed since ’78
We grew up on 2600s, 400/800s, XL/XEs, and crusty BBS lines. That history leaks into every release.
How we ship
- Sketch it, solder it, or code it late at night. Write everything down.
- Test on real hardware until the smoke clears.
- Bundle ATR/ROM, docs, BOMs, and notes—drop into the vault.
- Announce it, sell a few units or give it away. Move to the next obsession.
How to follow along
- Project log → `/about` for the mission, milestones, and build philosophy.
- Vault → `/vault` for product information and downloads.
- Support & chat → `/support` for issues, Discord, and Atari BBS breadcrumbs.
The lab door’s open.
We build the stuff we want to see on Atari 8-bit hardware—share it, sell it, or stash it in the vault. Come tinker, buy a board, or steal the plans. It’s all part of keeping these machines alive.
